PLACE - a year long series of exhibitions that explore the role of networked technologies in transcultural experience, organized by MediaNoche, presents the first exhibition in the series.

Time Resequenced (Networked Cinema) is a project by Cyril Tsiboulski which explores the ways traditional cinematic structure can be affected by new media.

Time ReSequenced is a screen based interactive project in which a four minute scene from Solaris (1972), a Russian film directed by Andrey Tarkovsky, is broken into individual frames by the users accessing the project site. The sequence is then reconstructed and played back using shots initiated by the users.

Time ReSequenced depends on and responds to the virtual participation of the audience. A unique network driven algorithm creates a new space and a new language of cinema. Edited in real time, the film sequence can only be reconstructed as a result of audience participation. It depends on the network traffic volume thus creating potentially endless variations.

As a contributor to the cinematic structure, but a passive viewer of the result, an audience member is challenged to re-think the role digital technology plays in how we experience our culture.

Cyril Tsiboulski is a new media artist, designer and programmer living and working in New York City. He is a part-time faculty member at Parsons School of Design. Much of his professional and academic work centers around network technologies and the way they affect human experience.
Cyril Tsiboulski is also a co-founder of an interactive design company, cloudred multimedia which seeks novel ways in which technology can become an effective tool for expression.
